Title: Hello from Europe
Post by: Pirosog on January 07, 2015, 07:21:06 pm

I just stumbled upon this forum earlier today, and I'm already writing my first post!

I'm Valentin, 23 years, living in a couple of European countries - like having houses in Texas and Minnesota, spending 3 weeks in MN every 3 months :)

While I have had done this and that with wood, ( including chopping the wood for my grandmother ) nothing, until now, required precise planning and designing.

Being 23, I'm already thinking of and researching the possibilities, to start selling personalized, puzzle names here and in the surrounding countries, which will be made by a friends of mine, owning a furniture factory, and taking advantage of the lower production costs - material, workforce and all.

I read a lot during the past 2 weeks, never knew patterns existed - well I kinda knew, just didnt know how it exaclty works :)

I think you will see me often here, and my first, well second thread, will be how to make those personalized puzzle names, since I'll be designing them by myself - I'm familiar with software such as GIMP, Photoshop, so all I need is a tutorial. I will be happy if you point me which is the right section for this one, since I don't want to make extra work for the mods.

Cheers, and yall stay beautiful.

G'day to you Valantin, welcome to the forum.  I'm Marg from Australia.  I assume the Aussies that you spend time with are backpackers touring your countries.  What countries do you live in?

@Wombatie - Austria and Bulgaria. They aren't backpackers, but they stay one year tops - that's the lenght of their internships. You people are quite troublemakers  :o Amis usually stay 5-6 months, I have my hard moments see people leave so often.
